Robin
Meola

Robin
has
been working with children ages 2 -12 years old for ten years.Her career began working summers at day care centers until she
graduated from The State University of Oneonta with a degree in Elementary
Education and a minor in Child Development in 1996.Robin also has a strong background in the basic fundamentals of
exercise. She has always been an enthusiastic athlete herself and was
named Captain of her varsity high school and college field hockey team and
she feels very strongly about teaching an awareness of physical fitness at
an early age.Gymnastics is
the perfect way for pre-school aged children to develop an enthusiasm that
will contribute to other sports they may participate in throughout their
lives.

Robin began her teaching career in
the Jersey City school system as a third grade teacher and in 1999 Robin
and her husband moved to Portland, Maine where she worked as a fifth and
sixth grade teacher for three years. Feeling the need to be closer to
family and friends, they moved back to New Jersey where she was hired at
Highland Park to teach fifth grade, but she felt as if something was
missing.She began looking
for a way to combine her passion for working with children and her
experience and expertise of basic exercise.

When she heard about the Tumblebus
she knew it was exactly everything she was looking for.She was very impressed to learn the Tumblebus had been servicing
pre-school children for over 16 years and had a very strong training
program to help her become more knowledgeable in the area of gymnastics.The Tumblebus’ program is designed to provide young children with
the ability to develop their gross motor development, practice
team-building skills, patience, and also help them build a strong
self-esteem and confidence.

Robin’s ability to work well
with children of all ages as well as her strong rapport and connection
with parents helps the Tumblebus remain so successful.123tumblebus@comcast.net

David
Plante

David
has
been in the “People Business” for well over 16 years. His ability to
motivate and move people is a gift he was truly born with. He holds a BA
in Biology and Graduated from Kean University in 1998. He was pursuing a
Physical Therapy degree while attending Kean but, while working his way
through college, he found that his natural sales ability was more
prominent, which led him to become an Executive Wall Street recruiter in
NYC.

Kids, Exercise, and dealing with
the public.The wonderful birth of his Daughter Nathalia
Rose
really made him
decide that working with children was what he was meant to do.

David strongly believes that the
reason why the majority of children and adults are overweight is due to
the fact that they lack the basic fundamentals of EXERCISE. He believes
that if children learn from a very young age the joy of exercise, it will
become a strong foundation that will follow them for the rest of their
lives. This is especially important THESE days when most children would
rather sit in front of a video game and press buttons than go out and
perform real live sports activities. Now, more than ever, children need to
be taught the basic fundamentals of exercise which WILL contribute to a
lifelong healthy lifestyle both physically and mentally.
